Hulk Hogan‘s estranged daughter Brooke has accused her mother of lying – and provided evidence to prove it – as their bitter family feud took yet another twist on Thursday.
The WWElegend’s ex-wife Linda posted a troubling video earlier this week in which she sobbed uncontrollably and accused Hogan of being a‘complete liar’ and a ‘sex addict’.
She also accused the wrestling icon, whose real name is Terry Bollea, of leaving their family ‘in the worst mess’ after Brooke cut both her parents out of her life.
The drama escalated on Thursday, when Brooke fired back at her mom and insisted her father was not the only reason behind the divide.
Linda responded by denying she ever abused her daughter and even claimed she was attacked herself. She accused Brooke of being ‘a narcissist just like her dad’ and claimed ‘I haven’t talked to her for seven years – almost eight years now’.
But now her daughter – who married former NHL star Steven Oleksy in 2022 – has responded by posting a family picture, purportedly from June 2023, which she says disproves her mother’s claims.

‘First of all. it appears my mother may not have actually read what I wrote,’ she wrote on social media. ‘She absolutely did make false claims like she had “never met my husband and she doesn’t even know what his name is,” then deleted it.
‘She says she hasn’t spoken to me for a number of years, yet I have a picture with her and my husband together on a day we did lunch together.
‘I did not ask for this, nor did I even want to make a statement, but I also couldn’t let people continue to speak for me. My name is continuously brought up in the constant drama of my family.
‘My post did not directly accuse anyone of the behaviors mentioned. So if she’s triggered by something, I think that speaks volumes.
‘She is however making a serious accusation against me directly that has zero validity. And THAT I take seriously.
I have plenty of people who know the truth, and I know the truth, so I am not afraid. I showed compassion for her in my post. At this point, I think her response says more about her than it does about me.’
Following accusations that the family picture was ‘photoshopped’, Brooke provided a time stamp of the ‘live photo’ on her iPhone.
Hogan and Linda were married for 26 years between 1983 and 2009. They have two children together – Brooke, 36, and Nick, 34.
Hogan remarried in 2010, tying the knot with Jennifer McDaniel, but they split 11 years later. He married his third wife – Sky Daily – in 2023, in a ceremony that Brooke did not attend.

Linda has not remarried since her divorce from Hogan. In her video on Wednesday, she hit out at Hogan for preventing her from having a relationship with Brooke, who welcomed twins with Olesky in January.
‘It’s been 15 however long years since I left Hulk Hogan and my family is the worst mess,’ a tearful Linda explained.
‘Brooke doesn’t talk to us. She had twins, she got married [and] she didn’t tell us. She had a huge fight with Terry. I don’t know how that reflected onto me. But she cut me out too. I haven’t talked to her for seven years – almost eight years now.’
Brooke gave her own version of events on Thursday, claiming she was ‘verbally and mentally abused’ during her childhood.
Addressing her decision to cut ties with her mother and father, Brooke wrote: ‘I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents. No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother.
‘This also pertains to my dad’s second and third, now current wife. This decision was made based purely on how they have each dealt with me directly my entire life.’
She added: ‘I have been EXTREMELY verbally and mentally abused since childhood. Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes.’
Brooke claimed she had tried to repair her relationship with her parents, but had finally decided that she needed to move on without them in her life.

‘I so badly wanted to see good in them, protect, help, and start anew – just to be disrespected again and again,’ she wrote. ‘I longed for a normal family, but it never came to fruition.
‘I’ve repeatedly held my hand out to help them, only to have them pull me into the darkness with them. I’ve set boundaries that were not respected, and at this point, I can truly do no more.’
Linda hit back at those comments and then posted another message to social media on Thursday. ‘Don’t let anyone manipulate you into thinking “all you want to do is argue” just because you’re expressing how they hurt you or how they make you feel,’ she wrote.
‘That’s a NARCISSIST. Get away from them, you’ll never win.’
She had earlier responded to Brooke with a lengthy statement, posted to her Facebook account.‘Seems narcissism runs deep in this family,’ it said.
‘Brooke is a narcissist just like her dad… going out… spewing lies to everyone and I’m supposed to defend my truth against that.’
‘I’m not about to do that… it seems to me that she doesn’t want the truth being revealed to her new husband and his family about who she was and things in her past! I think I spanked Brooke once yeah I called her a couple couple of names, by no means ever treated her the way she’s painting it.

‘They had cell phones. She could’ve posted horrible things about me back when all of this was supposedly happening, but she didn’t because nothing was happening, but when she took her dad’s side after the divorce and wrote the wonderful Mom song, and went to all the tabloids because Terry was using her as a tool.. her memory is completely skewed about the treatment that she received growing up in our household, and you can talk to anyone.
‘You can ask anybody you can ask Terry .. that none of the stuff ever happened. It’s her angle to keep her family away from her now, revealing who she used to be after drinking a half a bottle of vodka. She was so drunk she broke my collarbone and cut my lip and insisted everyone take her to the hospital because she was poisoned and she wasn’t. She was just drunk… there’s many stories like that.
‘I’m not gonna go on, but I’m not gonna defend myself against these ridiculous allegations. I’ll do that in court if she keeps it up.’
